First message to our church small group

Hey everyone. I’ve got a big prayer request for you all. Alison is in ICU at St. Luke’s right now. Her stomach sickness turned really bad overnight and I had to call an ambulance. She went from vomiting for hours to complaining of a numb tongue, her vision was blurred, eyes got lazy, she couldn’t walk, and she wasn’t making sense when she talked. They’ve run tons of tests. The CT didn’t reveal any major brain issues and they just did a spinal tap to test for meningitis. So now it’s a waiting game for lab and test results. She’s currently sedated with breathing assistance to keep her stable. But she’s “posturing” while sedated which indicates irregular brain activity. All in all, it’s extremely scary and we’d appreciate your prayers. Thanks in advance.

Alison's Story

Alison Wilson suffered a massive brain stem stroke on March 12, 2012, which resulted in the loss of her ability to speak and use her arms and legs. She spent nearly three months at Madonna Rehab Hospital in Lincoln, NE, and another seven months at a nursing facility back home in Kansas City. In January 2013, Alison moved into an apartment in Overland Park, KS, with her husband, Chris, and Boston Terrier, Piper. In April 2015, she and her family moved back to Springfield, MO, where she'd lived prior to Kansas City. She continues to make progress, but it's a marathon, not a sprint. Follow along her road to recovery as she blogs one letter at a time using only her left pinky and thumb to type. Your continued prayers and support are sincerely appreciated.
